Necromancer
| ||||||
|
TheNecromancer (Japanese:ネクロマンサーNecromancer) is anadvanced magicalclass which appears only inFire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. This class is exclusive toLyon, the game's secondary antagonist, and is similar to a more powerful version of the playableSummoner class. The class isenemy-only in the main story, but becomes a playable class in the game's post-gameCreature Campaign mode, when Lyon himself is unlocked as the final bonus character in that mode.
Wielding sinister powers derived from theDark Stone, or in other words fromthe Demon King himself, Lyon as a Necromancer boasts fearsomeraw magical power,HP,defense andresistance as well as goodskill andspeed, all stats worthy of a penultimate boss. He wieldsdark magic andstaves, and also has access to the rareSummon skill, with thephantoms he creates with this skill being stronger than those created by normal Summoners.

Trivia
- In the opening class roll, a Necromancer is seen casting theThunder spell. This is impossible both in the Japanese and international versions, as Necromancers have no access toanima magic.
- The Necromancer's design and battle sprite bears a strong resemblance to that of theDark Prince, the exclusive class of another endgame boss,Julius fromGenealogy of the Holy War.
